The Coburg University of Applied Sciences (short Coburg - until October 1, 2011 University of Applied Sciences Fachhochschule Coburg ) is a 1971 founded University of Applied Sciences in northern Bavaria Coburg with around 5,300 students (as of WS 2017/18).

history

The Coburg University of Applied Sciences traces its tradition back to the private Friedrich Streibsche Institute for building tradesmen, which was founded in Coburg in 1814 by the court architect Friedrich Streib . The school's task was to prepare builders for the master craftsman's license. After Streib's death, the court painter Georg Konrad Rothbart founded a successor institution, which from December 1852 was called the Ducal Building Trade School. The school was located at 20 Steingasse . Classes were initially held in the winter months, and from 1909 also in summer. In 1903 the curriculum was adapted to that of the Prussian building trade school, which resulted in entitlement to employment in the Prussian civil service.

After 1918 the institution was called the State Building Trade School. With the unification of the Free State of Coburg with the Free State of Bavaria on July 1, 1920, the name changed again to State Building School. In 1928, a higher technical college for the training of master builders and technical workers for the private sector, as well as technical officials for the Reich, state and municipal service was redesigned. From 1933 to 1939 the school was called the Higher Technical State College for Civil Engineering and from 1940 State Building School. After the Second World War , it was the first state building school in Bavaria to resume teaching with 193 students. From 1951 on it was called the State Building School - Engineering School for Civil Engineering.

Friedrich Streib campus

On July 18, 1959, the Free State of Bavaria, the City of Coburg, the District of Coburg and the City of Neustadt bei Coburg signed an agreement on the dissolution of the Institute for Teacher Education in Coburg, whose existence between Bavaria and the former Free State of Coburg in the State Treaty of February 14th Had been agreed in 1920. As an alternative, the contracting parties agreed to expand the Coburg State Building School into a polytechnic .

From October 1, 1963, the school was named Staatliches Polytechnikum Coburg. In May 1967, the inauguration of the new engineering school for construction and mechanical engineering in Friedrich-Streib-Strasse, which cost around 20 million DM. With the establishment of the universities of applied sciences, the Coburg University of Applied Sciences was finally established in its current form on July 1, 1971.

The Coburg Polytechnic and the Münchberg Textile and Engineering School were combined under the roof of the new university; In Coburg, the existing engineering courses and courses in the fields of business and social affairs were supplemented. The newly established design department with courses such as interior design and integrated product design moved into the restored Hofbrauhaus as a tenant in autumn 1999 .

In the 2012/13 winter semester, the new building on order for the courses in architecture and civil engineering was moved into. Together with the Hofbrauhaus, which houses the interior design and integrated product design courses, the ensemble forms the design campus.

Coburg University is a university of the Free State of Bavaria (Art. 1 BayHSchG); it is a corporation under public law with the right of self-administration. The university consists of six faculties:

• Faculty of Applied Sciences
• Faculty of Design
• Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
• Faculty of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering
• Faculty of Social Work and Health
• Faculty of Economics (until September 30, 2017: Faculty of Economics)

Another central facility is the Science and Culture Center (Wiku). It carries out cross-faculty academic and cultural tasks. The areas of responsibility include the selection and organization of the Studium Generale courses.

The implementation of the Bologna process has been completed for the University of Applied Sciences.

courses

The university offers bachelor's and master's degrees in the four areas of business, technology, natural science and computer science, social work and health as well as building, design and design, which are spread over two campuses . The design- related courses are located in the historic Hofbrauhaus of the Coburg dukes and in the new building on the Design campus. The other subjects have their rooms on the Friedrich Streib campus.

As part of the “Teaching Quality Pact” of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research , two projects are funded at the Coburg University of Applied Sciences:

• “Der Coburger Weg ”: As part of the Coburger Weg, students work together across disciplines. At the same time, they should be encouraged individually.
• "EVELIN" ("Experimental Improvement in Learning from Software Engineering") is a joint project with the universities of Aschaffenburg , Kempten , Landshut , Neu-Ulm and Regensburg . It is intended to prepare students of computer science for the professional requirements.

research

The University of Coburg is represented in the research map of the University Rectors' Conference (HRK) with the three main research areas of automotive, health promotion and measurement and sensor technology.
